25
Q

Topographic Anatomy

A

study of LOCATION of body organs in relation to each other

26
Q

Median plane

A

imaginary line passing through the body crania-caudally
dividing the body into two equal left and right halves

26
Q

Topographical Planes

A

Median Plane

Sagittal Plane

Transverse Plane (cross section)

Frontal Plane (Horizontal Plane)

27
Q

Sagittal plane

A

any plane PARALLEL to median plane

28
Q

Transverse Plane (Cross section)

A

at a right angle to the median plane.
It divides the body into cranial and caudal parts

29
Q

Frontal plane
Horizontal plane

A

at a right angle to both median and transverse planes,
dividing the body into dorsal and ventral parts

30
Q

Topographical terms (location of body organs)

A

cranial
caudal
medial
lateral
dorsal
ventral
proximal
distal
palmar
volar
plantar

31
Q

Cranial

A

more towards the head

‘the heart is cranial to diaphragm’

32
Q

Caudal

A

more towards the tail

‘the diaphragm is positioned caudal to the heart’

33
Q

Medial

A

closer to the median plane

34
Q

Lateral

A

relatively away from the median plane

‘the lungs lie lateral to the heart’

35
Q

Dorsal

A

more TOWARDS the backbone or vertebral column

‘the kidneys are located dorsal to the intestines.’

(used in reference to body organs)

36
Q

Ventral

A

relatively AWAY from the vertebral column

‘the intestines are located ventral to the kidneys.

(used in reference to body organs)

37
Q

Proximal

A

relatively CLOSE to the vertebral column.

(used in reference to bones of extremities)

38
Q

Distal

A

away from the vertebral column.

(used in reference to bones of extremities)

A

refers to the Caudal surface of the fore limb below the elbow joint

40
Q

A

refers to the Caudal surface of the hind limb below the hock joint

41
